I have long maintained that Jamaica is a sports powerhouse in only three disciplines. In my ranking them from the greatest at the top, they are:
1. the 100, 200 and 400-meter sprints and the sprint and mile relays (all track and field events);
2. Netball
3. Cricket (albeit not consistently)
Congratulations to our Under-21 netball team for another job well done (bronze in the 2013 World Youth Championships in Scotland, following up on their bronze in the 2009 World Youth Championships in the Cook Islands)! The ladies have performed admirably yet again!

Standout shooter Shanice Beckford netted a game-high 29 goals from 30 attempts to spark Jamaica to an easy 52-33 victory over arch-rivals England to retain the bronze medal at the World Youth Netball Championships (WYNC) in Glasgow, Scotland, yesterday.
The Jamaican girls who also won the bronze medal four years ago in the Cook Islands, started the match confidently and raced to 14-11 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The Junior Sunshine Girls increased their lead in the second period as Beckford shot a perfect six goals from six attempts to outscore the English girls 9-7 for a 25-18 lead at half-time.
Jamaica played a much faster game than England, and forced their opponents into many mistakes throughout all areas of the court, especially in the third quarter.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
